I do believe FoxNews and others are trying to wrongly call Paul's plan "amnesty" to try and drive a wedge and cause conflict. |
Agreed, and I would note that Newt was making the same point during the primary debates that we are NOT going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants. Yet, he gets crucified for that.
Here is Rand's Transcript:
Por favor disculpen mi Espanol. Como creci en Houston — es un poco ‘espanglish y un poco Tex Mex.
I lived, worked, played and grew up alongside Latinos. As a teenager I worked alongside immigrants mowing lawns and putting in landscaping around businesses.
I remember once asking one of the immigrant workers how much he was being paid. “Cuanto le pagan por el trabajo?”
He responded “tres dolars.” I responded,“Yo tambien. Tres Dolars, por hora . . . ?”
He shook shook his head, “No tres Dolars, por dia!”
At a young age, I came to understand that it makes a difference whether you are a documented immigrant or an undocumented ivmmigrant, that the existence was not easy for the undocumented but that opportunity in America somehow trumped even the poor living conditions and low pay.I wondered what circumstances must have been like in his country to choose an admittedly tough life in the shadows.
Growing up in Texas I never met a Latino who wasn’t working.
